Got a problem with your bike?

The Bike Kitchen is a non-profit social enterprise created to teach basic bike mechanics and bike repair in a welcoming safe space and provide safe, affordable transportation to the community.

​Come in and use our tools to fix your own bike with the instruction of one of our mechanics. Many of our volunteers learn basic mechanics by repairing and refurbishing donated bicycles that go back into the community. High school volunteers earn their required volunteer hours helping out with us.
